Should it be shown? DiCaprio was scared of nаked Meryl Streep
Leonardo even refused to shoot with the 72-year-old actress after this.
In the Netflix comedy Don’t Look Up, 47-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio was in for an unexpected “surprise” from director Adam McKay. They tried to drag the Oscar-winning actor into a “nude scene” with the participation of Meryl Streep.
Meryl herself was glad to undress and walk around the room naked for several minutes, showing the whole world and Leo her tattoo on her lower back, but DiCaprio was not enthusiastic about such a prospect. Moreover, it was not the body of the elderly actress that scared Leonardo at all.
Meryl was excited to strip and walk around the room naked for several minutes, exposing the entire world and Leo her tattoo on her lower back, but DiCaprio was not. Furthermore, it was not the ageing actress’s physicality that frightened Leonardo.
“He told me something like: “Do you need to show this? Really?” And I began to convince him that this is not Meryl Streep, but President Ginny Orleans, ”McCain explains in an interview with The Guardian.
It turned out that Streep’s authority for DiCaprio is so great that the actor simply could not bear her naked appearance, and therefore Meryl had to be replaced by an understudy.
